次の英文を読み、以下の問いに答えなさい。なお、各段落の先頭の数字は、段落番号を
表しています。
〈１〉 ①People spend about one-third of their lives sleeping. This is about 25 years for
a person who lives an average *lifespan. But ②what really happens to the body when a
person is sleeping, and does a person really need such a long sleep?
As sleep is
necessary for a body to *recharge and repair itself, people need an average of seven to
eight hours of sleep a night.
〈２〉 Most people know when someone is asleep. Usually, the person lies down on a
bed, a futon, or even the floor. The person’s eyes are closed, and it seems the person
doesn’t hear anything except loud noises. His breathing slows down, and his *muscles
relax. If he falls asleep while he is sitting up, he may *hunch over or *lean his head
back, or he may even fall out of the chair.
〈３〉 Another thing that happens when a person sleeps is that he changes position at
least once an hour.
According to researchers, in this way, a person won’t lose
*circulation in one part of the body for a long period of time.
〈４〉 But it seems like such a ③waste of time to be nearly *unconscious for six or more
hours in a day. You may think you can do so many things without sleeping, right?
Wrong!
〈５〉 In order to understand why people need sleep, researchers studied what happens
when
④
. If a person stays up all night for one night to study, work a late shift,
or play video games, ⑤it isn’t very harmful to his health. He’ll just be *irritable and
either become tired easily or be too excited from an *adrenaline rush. If a person stays
up two nights, he won’t be able to *concentrate and will make more mistakes when he
tries to finish his work. After three days of no sleep, a person will begin to *hallucinate,
and it will be impossible for him to think clearly. When he stays *awake longer than
that, it may become difficult for him to understand what is real.
(
⑥
) fact, by
studying sleep with other animals, such as rats, researchers think that a person may die
from a lack of sleep.
英文は次のページに続きます。

〈６〉 So why do people need sleep? After studying how a lack of sleep influences a
person, researchers have the following answers to this question.

Sleep gives a person’s ( ⑦ ) a chance to repair itself. Muscles and other
*tissues get the chance to change dead or old *cells.

The brain gets the chance to *organize memories. Dreaming is thought to be
part of ⑧this process.

The brain needs to recharge.

When people sleep, they use less energy.
〈７〉 Also, how much sleep is really needed? Some people seem to need only five
hours. Other people, like teenagers, sleep at least twelve. Researchers agree that a
person should sleep at least seven to eight hours in order to feel refreshed. However, the
amount of sleep a person needs ( ⑨ ) with age. A newborn baby may sleep twenty
hours, though a four-year-old child sleeps twelve hours, and a teenager nine hours. *In
contrast, a seventy-five-year-old man may only need six hours of sleep to feel refreshed.
〈８〉 Even though you may sometimes feel sleeping is wasting time, sleep is necessary
to recharge both the body and brain.

次の英文を読み、以下の問いに答えなさい。
The class was finally over.
As soon as the bell rang, all textbooks and
notebooks were cleared from the students’ desks and went straight into their
backpacks. Everyone was ①eager to rush home as soon as possible.
As I passed through the school gate that afternoon, the sun was shining
brightly. The clouds were moving across the blue sky. I walked home happily. I
was enjoying the wonders of nature as I took a *shortcut through the neighborhood
park.
“Kevin, Kevin!” Someone called my name. I turned around to see who the
caller was. A man who looked younger than my father was walking up to me. He
was not very tall, but was dressed *neatly.
“Kevin, I work with your mother. She has had a small accident at work an
hour ago. She has been taken to a hospital. I have come to take you to see her.
Your father is with her in the hospital now.” The words ‘accident’ and ‘hospital’
made me very worried.
“How is my mother? What kind of accident did she have? Is she badly
injured?” I asked the man a lot of questions.
“She has broken her arm, but she is all right. She really wants to see you.
Come, I’ll take you to the hospital now,” said the stranger in a hurry.
“But how did she break her arm?” I asked him.
“That’s not important. The important thing is that I get you to the hospital.
You can see her there, come,” answered the stranger as he tried to take my hand.
I felt something was ②fishy about the whole situation. The stranger didn’t
answer clearly when I asked him about her injury. (
あ
)
My mother works as an *accountant and spends her working hours at her desk in
front of her computer. She would not break her arm while at work.
“Please take me to see my mother. However, I really, really need to use the
bathroom first. There’s one inside that fast-food restaurant across the street.”
As I talked, I hurried out of the park and across the small road. The stranger
followed me.

“Be quick, I’ll wait for you outside here,” said the stranger as we approached
the fast-food restaurant. I went inside and silently went up to the counter to look
for the manager. I tried not to be seen by the stranger. I said to the manager,
“Can I use a phone? It’s an emergency.” He led me into his office. There, I
called my mother at her workplace. She answered the call and was shocked when
I told her about the stranger and his story. She told me to stay in the manager’s
office while she called the police.
*Meanwhile, the manager heard what was
happening from my phone conversation.
③He told me his plan to hold the
stranger until the police arrived.
I went outside and told the stranger I was ready to leave with him. Before
we even took a step, the manager approached us to do a ④survey, promising a free
meal and toy if we finished it. I pretended to be very excited and insisted that we
should complete it before leaving. The stranger had to do it. During the survey,
the police arrived and arrested the stranger. You can imagine the shock on his
face when he was arrested by the police officer. Another police officer took me
home. My grandparents were waiting anxiously at home.
When I was back home, I *calmed myself and remembered how things
happened. (
い
) He wanted to *kidnap me. Anyway, my
family and I were happy because I was safe and the stranger was arrested. We
also thanked the manager of the fast-food restaurant for his help. Through this
experience, I learned ⑤a valuable lesson: Be careful of strangers!
